Time and time again, members of the homeless committee state transportation is a problem. At Thursday’s homeless committee meeting several concerned citizened offered to donate used bicycles. To donate a bike (and lock) contact Toby Bilings at tobybilings@ygmail.com. Bilings said he would also accept bikes in need of repairs.

Miss today's homeless committee meeting at Westminster Presbyterian Church? Don't worry. I tweeted updates throughout the meeting, catching some of the best quotes and highlights.
